SU HONG KONG CENTER & CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONGFALL 2017 ACADEMIC PACKET

SU HONG KONG CENTER: CITYU of HONG KONG

Direct Enroll Option Fall 2017 Academic Update

PREPARE FOR REGISTRATION

STEP 1 - Request Courses

Review the information in this

packet and course outlines linked

from the CityU Course List.

You need special permission

from SU Abroad to take any

course other than those found

on the Course List.

Follow these instructions to

complete the Student

Advising/Course Request Form

(SAF).

STEP 2 – Seek Advising and Return Signed SAF to SU Abroad

Take completed SAF to your advisor(s) for their signature(s) and to ensure your course plan

will keep you on track for graduation.

It is helpful to print and provide your advisor(s) with outlines of all the courses you want to get

approved (outlines are linked from CityU course codes). Please note that full syllabi may not

be available until classes start in Hong Kong.

Return SAF signed by your advisor(s) to Mary Fedorko, mmfedork@syr.edu, by April 14

(earlier, if possible).

If you have academic requirements that should be communicated with CityU, explain

these in a supplemental document you email to Mary Fedorko (see sample on page 4).

The sooner we submit your CityU application with your course requests, the better your

chances of getting into your desired courses.

Bring a copy of your SAF to Hong Kong. Schedule adjustment occurs in Hong Kong.

GRADES AND ACADEMIC RESOURCES

Grades for CityU courses may not post to your SU transcript until February so you should

ensure that this timing will not adversely affect you academically or in terms of financial

aid awarding.

At Syracuse University, all work for registered classes must be completed on or before

the degree certification date. If you are graduating, you should seek advice from your

home college regarding your degree certification date and also be certain you are

aware of any remaining degree requirements.

2 of 9

Information on enrollment policies, grades, SU library resources, and registration can be found

on the Preparing To Go website. Visiting students should also look at this site for information

on transfer credit and requesting an SU transcript.

You should carefully review academic policies applicable to all SU Abroad programs.

You should regularly check your syr.edu email for messages from SU Abroad.

COURSE INFORMATION

Undergraduate students must enroll on a full-time basis and register for at least 12 credits at CityU

(visiting students’ home schools may require their students to register for more than 12 credits).

Students are advised to register for a maximum of five courses at CityU. Classes meet Monday through

Saturday (you must be prepared to attend classes on Friday and Saturday).

Visiting Students Only: Once you have fulfilled the CityU and SU program requirements by selecting 12

credits of SU-approved courses, you may select one additional non-approved course to be brought back

to your home school as transfer credit direct from CityU. This would require you to request transcripts

from both Syracuse and CityU at the end of the semester.

You should first confirm with your home school that they will:

1) Accept a non-SU-approved course for transfer credit.

2) Accept a CityU transcript for a non-SU-approved course.

Opportunities of Southeast Asia: China, Malaysia and Singapore from August 18-31, earning 2 credits.

You may not drop the Signature Seminar.

CityU Course List

Select five first-choice courses plus two alternatives for each first-choice course from the CityU Course

List. Keep in mind that you should not expect to be pre-registered for all of your first-choice courses.

List these courses on the Student Advising/Course Request Form (SAF) and seek academic

advising with print-outs of the CityU course outlines (accessed from links found in CityU Course

Code).

Based on the courses you request and are pre-registered for by CityU, you will be assigned to a

particular college at CityU. Students are expected to maintain a registration for a minimum of two

courses offered by their assigned college.

Do any of the courses you select have prerequisites at CityU? (Prerequisites are listed in each CityU

course outline). If yes, you must indicate on the SAF the course on your transcript that you believe

meets the prerequisite. You also need to email the syllabus for your transcripted course to Mary

Fedorko, mmfedork@syr.edu, when you return your SAF.

If you are not initially pre-registered for a course with prerequisites and attempt to add it during the

schedule adjustment period, understand that you will likely need to re- submit this supporting

documentation to CityU.

General Academic Requests for CITYU

After we receive your signed Student Advising/Course Request Form, our office will submit your

application to CityU. If you have specific requests regarding your courses, you should explain these in a

supplemental document you email to Mary Fedorko, mmfedork@syr.edu, with your SAF. The following are

examples of what some students may need to include:

Remember: CityU’s time schedule of classes is not available until about two weeks before the start of the

semester. You may find out that you have one or more time conflicts in your initial schedule (why it is

essential to have alternative pre-approved courses!). Schedule adjustment for some courses can be done

online; adding and dropping other courses will take place after you arrive in Hong Kong.

STUDENT ADVISING/COURSE REQUEST FORM (SAF) INSTRUCTIONS

Checklist for Students

RETURN your signed SAF by April 14 and earlier, is possible. The sooner you return the form, the sooner we can submit

your application to CityU and the better your chances of getting into your first-choice courses.

Check that your course plan totals at least 12 CityU credits. You may not register for more than 19 total credits.

List the five CityU courses you would most like to take, in order of priority, on the numbered lines. On the shaded lines, list

two alternatives for each first-choice course (therefore, you need to list a total of 15 courses). You need to seek approval

for all these courses in order to facilitate your registration in the event that a class is full, cancelled, or there is a time

conflict. This is particularly important since you may not be eligible for all CityU courses you select and because the class

schedule is not available until shortly before the semester starts.

Confirm that all courses you’ve listed are found on the CityU Course List for Exchange Students. Visiting Students may

select one course not on this list, provided their home college will accept a CityU transcript for a non-SU-approved course.

Check that none of your selected courses repeat prior study (even if the course is taught in another language). If you have

any questions about whether a course covers the same or similar material to one already on your transcript, have your

home institution review the syllabus for the new course.

Review the CityU course outlines for each course you list to see if any has a prerequisite. You must have met any prerequisite

and indicate what comparable course on your transcript fulfills each prerequisite. Email the syllabus for each comparable

course to Mary Fedorko.

Take the SAF and course outlines linked from the CityU Course List to your study abroad advisor, college dean,

academic advisor, school or college recorder and/or other authorized official(s) at your institution, asking for their

approval and assessment of how/whether these courses will count toward your degree. You should also discuss

whether there are specific degree requirements you must meet in order to stay on track for graduation; this would

require you to also submit a supplemental document outlining your general academic needs.

Visiting students: If your school requires you to use its own course approval form, return both your SAF and a copy of

your school’s form. If your school does not pre-approve courses as a matter of policy, please note this on your SAF. In

either case, however, you must still list your course choices with alternatives on this form and return it to Mary

Fedorko .

SU students: take this form to your home college advisor/recorder to ensure that the courses you select are

appropriate for your program of study. You may also need to obtain some approvals from your faculty, dual college,

and/or minor advisor(s). Be sure any advising hold is lifted when you get your Student Advising/Course Request Form

signed.

Keep your completed SAF to bring with you to Hong Kong and send a copy to your home campus advisor for their files.

Return the SAF signed by your advisor(s) to Mary Fedorko (mmfedork@syr.edu):

Return your form by April 14 whether or not you have been able to obtain school approval.

Instructions for Advisors 1. Using the course descriptions provided by the student, indicate your approval of a course by signing in the "Course Approval"

column.

2. Indicate how an approved course may count toward the student's degree in the "Counts Toward" column (e.g., major, minor,

elective, core, specific course substitute, excess credit, etc.).

3. If you cannot approve a course, please indicate this in the "Course Approval" column.

4. Return the form to the student.

5. SU ADVISORS: Please take action needed to lift any advising hold!
